glycerol, and fatty acids.
These both originated from a minorcan island off the coast of Africa when a young spanish explorer named Jose' cabrera was searching for the lost treasure of Henry Silacinini(a pirate) and he found a whale which had washed ashore. He decided to go cut into the skin and he found a not so welcoming goo. He brought it back to Spain and took it to a scientist named Rudolph Fortiano whom examined it very closely for days on end. Then, in the midst of his research he found a small bit of acid in the goo which was actually quite potent. Enough to dissolve a small piece of Lead. Eventually he figured out that the goo was called fat and he named the acid fatty acid. Later when we were able to find elements and compounds within a substance we found that these fatty acids were made of glycerol.

∙ 9y agoMost lipids are not polymers, so it doesn't make sense to ask about the "monomers" that make them up.
I suppose it's possible to think of them as very low molecular weight oligomers of the methylene group, but that's very suspect; it only gets half of what makes a lipid "right".

What monomers make up the polysaccharide starch?
Glucose monomers make up the polysaccharide starch.
What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?
monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers
What are the monomers of the lipids?
Lipids are unlike the other macromolecules in that they do not have monomers per se. They are made up of glycerol and fatty acids, but it's not like DNA which is made up of nucleotides or proteins that are made up of amino acids. However, they are still considered macromolecules as lipids are a large category of important molecules in the human body.
What are the monomers that make up the 4 biological macromolecules?
The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides.Of polysaccharides: monosaccharides.Of polypeptides (the chains that make up proteins): amino acids.Lipids are macromolecules, but are not polymers, so they do not have monomers.
What smaller units make up fats?
The smaller units that make up fats are called TRIGLYCERIDE
What monomers are used to make up lipids?
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids is the monomer of a lipid.This is also the basic structure of a lipid.
The individual molecules that make up polymers are called?
The smaller molecules that make up polymers are called monomers.
What are lipids ploymer?
a trygliceride-made up of fatty acids which are the monomers
What monomers make up protiens?
amino acid
What monomers make up the polysaccharide starch?
Glucose monomers make up the polysaccharide starch.
How Both Nucleic Acids aNd Proteins And Polymers?
A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.
What is an organic compound called called that is used to store energy and forms important parts of biological membranes?
Lipids are insoluble in water and found in biological membranes.
What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?
monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers
Is the monomers of DNA are nucleic acids?
No, the monomers which make up DNA are nucleotides.
What are 4 major macromolecules found in living organism?
The four macromolecules found in living organisms are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids:1. Carbohydrates: Are Molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and they include sugars and starches.2. Lipids: Are non polar molecule that includes fats, oils, and cholesterol.3. Proteins: A Proteins is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.4. Nucleic Acids: Are polymer that are made up of monomers called nucleotides.
What are the monomers of the lipids?
Lipids are unlike the other macromolecules in that they do not have monomers per se. They are made up of glycerol and fatty acids, but it's not like DNA which is made up of nucleotides or proteins that are made up of amino acids. However, they are still considered macromolecules as lipids are a large category of important molecules in the human body.
What do proteins nucleic acids carbohydrates have in common?
These are three of the four major biological macromolecules. (The fourth are lipids.) Each of these macromolecules are polymers and are made up of smaller component parts called monomers.
